Your Workday Timeline

This is a suggested schedule. Adjust the times to fit your work start time.

Planning

10 minutes of planning prevents hours of confusion later

Making It Work

Prepare the Night Before

Set out your clothes, pack your bag, and decide on breakfast. This saves 10-15 minutes in the morning and reduces decision fatigue.

Keep It Simple

Don't try to do everything perfectly. If you only have time for water and a quick breakfast, that's fine. Build from there.

Adjust for Your Schedule

If you start work at 9 AM instead of 8 AM, shift everything by an hour. The sequence matters more than the exact times.

Allow Buffer Time

Plan to leave 10 minutes earlier than necessary. This prevents rushing and reduces morning stress significantly.

Skip the Phone

Avoid checking email or social media until after breakfast. This protects your calm mental state during the most crucial hour.

Be Flexible

Some mornings won't go as planned. That's normal. Reset the next day without guilt or self-criticism.
